While the older ones(the mothers) sit in the front room, mostly *****ing about things.

I am 19 and don't watch kiddies tv or ***** about things.I know my gran likes her family around her at christmas, but does that MEAN I have to stare blankly at a clock intil the last person leaves. Then We go which is 10pm at night.

Instead of watching the clock, you could socialize.

"Wahh, I don't like Christmas because I hate my family" is the same thing thousands of other kids on the internet say each alot of the time this year. We really don't want to hear it, and we're STILL answering your questions.

I understand that there are people out there that don't have families that are caring, that don't argue, that aren't abusive in mental/physical ways. I guess you didn't notice because you're miserable that "you don't fit in with your family". Well Hell, they don't have to feed you on thanksgiving, or give you gifts on Christmas. You SHOULD be more grateful for what everyone you know as a family member has done for you. Now, if you really "don't fit in" then I am sure there is some sort of miss communication that YOU need to find out.

Within a month and a half, my entire immediate family has birthdays, three cousins and two aunts have birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and all of them apparently need to be celebrated.

This is why I have turned away from the practice of celebrating anything. I don't want people celebrating my birthday, I don't want Christmas gifts. I give birthday gifts to those I deem worth the effort of maintaining a good relationship and I give Christmas gifts. Contradiction? Possibly. I like giving, I hate receiving.
